Brightness Reducer Disc BRD
A contact lens for your projector
I am selling an accessory for use with your own projector. This accessory is basically a lens cap or a "contact lens" for your projector. It reduces the amount of projected light.
Why would you want to reduce the amount of projected light?
Isn't brighter better? No. When you are telecine - ing to your camcorder (16mm film to DVD transfer for example) you obviously need to have a 5-blade shutter projector or it will have horrendous flicker. But even after you buy a 5-blade shutter upgrade or buy a ready-to-go projector with a 5-blade shutter built-in- YOU STILL HAVE FLICKER? Why? The problem is the excessive brightness from having a high wattage projection bulb projecting onto a mini screen or against the wall at close range. See the camcorder gets overwhelmed with light. Too much light and it flickers no matter if you have a 5-blade shutter or not.

My Brightness Reducer disc uses microscopic holes mathematically placed to give even brightness without hotspots. Compared to a projector without my disc- you would have overly bright picture which is brighter in the center and dimmer at the edges. My disc solves all of those issues. Even brightness that is just right for telecine box use.
My disc was specially design to give BEST results
Got a question? Not sure if it will work with your projector? Got a transfer box not listed?
Every single hole in the disc is calculated with the correct placement, angle and diameter to meter the correct amount of light projected onto the screen- eliminates hotspots. What looks simple is actually precision made
This disc will substantially reduce or eliminate flicker on projectors which have been modified to include a 5-blade shutter.
You MUST have a 5-blade shutter.
Some residual flicker may still be present but is a drastic improvement.
5" Magnifying glass boxes which magnify the film at the gate will not work with my Brightness Reducer Disc BRD. The disc requires light to go from the projector to the screen. You must project onto a mini-screen (see above transfer boxes which will work) to use my disc.
I'm an honest seller and trying to describe my product fully.
Please measure your lens with a precision caliper before clicking buy-it-now.
